Cool Font Effect Using FlexiSIGN - Add a little bling to a font.

I came up with a little technique to add a little bling to a font using FlexiSIGN. As you may know, fonts in Flexi are vector format. This little technique can be used for adding all sorts of accents, bling if you will, to a font. Enjoy and share.

protip: contour a copy of the original font inwards a tad before doing your trick and you dont have to spend 5 minutes adjusting everything

Thanks Gene, I know. That's why I ignore that kind of nonsense. I write for those who can benefit. I firmly believe comments of poor taste and judgment reflect on those who post them and the majority of those in this forum know that.

This site has quite a few beginners. I think having these tips
is of great benefit. Thanks Mark...

I'm gonna sit on the fence here,...while your intentions are good and seem very instructional,...I'm also with the weasel buffoons here,...it comes across as more of a self promoting advertisement than it does as a helpful tip ,...look at this page here and it encroaches on the only space left without advertisements and or commercials on the page,....thats just a bit too many ads for my taste and I'll bet there are others here who will agree,.,,its just looks too much like a web page with nothing but advertisements and not a forum for discussion,....how many ads can you stuff on one webpage??????? there should be a place for this somewhere on another sub forum where the seasoned professionals do not have the very basics of a "how to/video commercial" take up our reading time,...

What?

I'm confused. Ads? What do you mean. I posted a video about adding some accents to a font using FlexiSIGN. I also added a link to another site that's a blog I'm developing with articles to help. What ADs are you talking about. Seems to me this site (SIGNS10) is surrounded by ads. I'm not being critical here, just asking for clarification.

Seriously, I want the feedback, not rudeness but useful comment. I WANT to improve and offer good stuff.

By the way, Im a merchant account, that allows some self promotion, right?

Mark,

I always seem to pick up cool little things from your presentations. Even if it's an "aha moment" on a different way to skin the cat.

I just wish I had the same outcome after playing golf with you :/ that's where I really need help.

Keep em coming, bro. Good stuff.

account, that allows some self promotion, right?

Yes, and that's the first thing I noticed. Being a merchant
member, you are allowed exactly what you showed. I didn't
think it was over the top or excessive. I would think a few
would look forward to more.

I'm sure if you ask for comments on how your websites and
blogs are, you will get a few comments on how it's looks,
navigates and reads, but that not the subject. I also know
that people have strong opinions on software. Don't think
that's up for discussion either.

I hope you benefit from your MM subscription.

my intent may have been misunderstood here,...I tried to play the devils advocate by praising your efforts ,....then on the other hand I criticized your approach as coming across as too commercial,...like you yourself admit you are a merchant member and having visited the links provided they are definitely commercial,....no offence intended here just my $.02 on your delivery that being said it definitely has its place for the novice seeking instructional resouces

So is there a demo of the latest that won't brick the current 8.6 Flexi I am running now?
I am interested in seeing what has been improved to make it more of a design package.
I do not care for it much but have an open mind.
I liked it more when it was CasMate - then not so much when it was Inspire & stopped upgrading at 8.6 that was needed for the RIP.
